Welcoming the introduction of this important new agent, Professor Takeda, department of Anesthesiology, Keio University, Japan commented: "The introduction will undoubtedly contribute to greater patient safety during surgery in Japan. This agent's rapid onset of action allows almost all patients to be intubated within approximately one minute of its administration. Additionally, it will come in a ready-to-use solution and no active metabolites with the drug have been shown in clinical trials to date which further contributes to safety and ease of continuous infusion. Japanese anesthesiologists will certainly welcome this important new drug to their armamentarium as it will provide rapid and reliable neuromuscular relaxation."
